US Supreme Court nominee cruises

Judge Amy Coney Barrett would under normal circumstances and in a different political climate be almost guaranteed to have her nomination for the US Supreme Court confirmed by the Senate. She has been supremely capable and articulate in her answers to the myriad of questions thrown at her by Democrat and Republican members of Congress. Had she faultered, blown her top, burst into tears, walked out of the room at any point in the gruelling two days of hearings her place on the Supreme Court might be in doubt. But, unlike the previous Trump nominee for the Supreme Court, Judge Brett Kavanaugh who did shout and cry and get very angry indeed, she cruised through the questions with a calm and intelligent manner. Very impressive and she will make a doubty Supreme Court judge. But of couse that's not the point. The Democrats are outraged that her nomination is being pushed through at frightening speed to give Trump an ace card in his election campaign pack, changing the political balance of the highest court in the land. She will still get confirmed because the Senate is Republican-controlled, and, constitutionally, no rules are being broken by her winning a seat on the Supreme Court bench within spitting distance of election day. It is true she did avoid anaswering certain questions but I think for legally sound reasons. Her more hostile interrogators demanded to know how she would rule on key questions such as Obamacare and whether Trump would be able to delay the election. Her clever answer was always that the law will decide and it's not for her to preempt any such decision by givng her views now. Very frustrating for the Democrats who wanted to prove that she is a Trump toady, but, as a federal judge, an appropriate answer in each case. From seeing her in action I don't think she will be a Trump toady if he wins reelection, nor will she be anti-Biden if Trump loses. She will come to her judgements based on the law. I think she was impressive and may surprise people once she is sitting on the Supreme Court bench.
